So I've just spent some time reading on other forums.

I'm now thinking that the Cougar Blue is the problem. Maybe such a static rope just doesn't work so well with a hitch based friction device.

Sorry mate but it has nothing to do with being static . It's about what hitch you use , what materials match well , the length of said hitch and materials . If you want ,pm me and I've got a bit of info I can share If your interested. I've only been on cougar for three months but my hitch is working better then it was on tachyon. 👍

^^^ WORD.. Try some different hitch cords and lengths. I like HRC on cougar and armor prus. The volcano is decent too Using liros dynamid at the moment. I want to hear this "info" Jesse:lol:

You've already heard most of my yarns and findings towards the perfect hitch mate haha armour and beeline bind to much and hrc with the amount of wraps i like won't consistently grab , the kevlar(aramid) poly mixes like arbpro and volcano hold differently and don't seem to flatten out as much as the technora (armour and beelines) do. Although the arbpro and volcano are a completely different rope structure, the kevlar and poly mixes well and makes for easier breaking of the knot and also a more consistent grabbing.

This is just very general statement as there are a lot of factors to take into consideration but i'll try not to bore the fellow arbtalkers with geeky crap about hitch cords haha back to the hitch hiker

That's the funny thing about all this. I couldn't get HRC to work on my Cougar but Armor Pruss was good. I found the Liros to be ok.

I haven't tried Volcano or Epicord yet.

What can I say?! We cant all be hitch masters like Mr Coleman here..

 

Maybe you just have to experiment more Old mill

That's the thing Ben, I can't be arsed with experimenting.

I keep thinking "Sod this, I'll order a BDB" but then I remember that the HH is perfect when the hitch is right.

Just buy a uni... No more hitch cord worries haaaaa

 

Just kidding
